1.（2024年新高考 I卷）Not all great writers are great spellers. If you want to be published, it's vital to
submit a perfect, professionally presented manuscript (原稿). ____36____ No editor is likely to tolerate a writer
who does not take the trouble to spell words correctly.
I keep two reference books close-by on my desk: dictionary and thesaurus (同义词词典). I don't trust my
laptop's spellchecker. ____37____ Of course, these days there are plenty of online dictionaries and thesauruses,
but I'm old-fashioned enough to prefer a hard cover and pages I can leaf through with my fingers. I use the
Concise Oxford Dictionary and the Collins Thesaurus.
____38____ It should give you a precise definition of each word, thus differentiating it from other words
whose meanings are similar, but not identical. It will also usually show how the word is pronounced.
In addition, I have an old two-volume copy of the Shorter Oxford Dictionary, picked up a few years ago in a
bookshop sale for just 99 pence. Of course, with its 2,672 pages, it's not exactly short. It contains around 163,000
words, plus word combinations and idiomatic phrases. ____39____ However, if I need to check the origin of a
word or to look up examples of its usage, there's nothing better.
For well over a hundred years the most influential English dictionary was Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of
the English Language published in 1755. "To make dictionaries is dull (乏味) work," wrote Johnson, illustrating
one definition of "dull". ____40____ A few minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding
experience.
A. I don't often use this dictionary.
B. It takes no account of the context.
C. But I still don't want to replace them.
D. But a dictionary can be a pleasure to read.
E. Of course, a dictionary is not only for spelling.
F. That means good grammar and no spelling mistakes.
G. Dictionaries don't always give you enough information.

时间浏览一两页是一种有益的体验。)”提到浏览字典也是一种阅读的乐趣，D选项“But a dictionary can
be a pleasure to read.(但是一本字典读起来是一种乐趣。)”是作者对字典的评价，与上文的“乏味”形成对
比，与上文构成转折关系。故选D项。
2.（2024年新高考II卷）Overtourism Is For Real: How Can You Help?
Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local economies and
答案第2页，共2页communities, but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations. ___16___
Certainly not. The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today’s world. Here are some tips on
making wise decisions to minimize pressure on the places we visit and improve our experience.
●Choose mindfully. Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason: they’re special. With so many online
posts featuring the same places, it’s easy to feel like you’re missing out. Go somewhere only when the landscape,
culture or food deeply draws you. ___17___
●Get creative. The best way to ease pressure on over-touristed destinations is to go somewhere else. Though
overtourism is described as a problem affecting the entire world, it’s actually concentrated to a small number of
extremely popular spots. That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from. ___18___ Why not try
a regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights?
● ___19___ Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour. You’ll
compete with fewer tourists, save money, experience a different side of a popular place, and boost the economy
when tourism is traditionally slower.
Visiting a place that others call home is a privilege(荣幸). Do your part to preserve what makes a destination
special in the first place. ___20___ You may be amazed how much closer you’ll feel to the people there.
A. Visit during off-peak times.
B. So, should we stop traveling?
C. Travel for you and no one else.
D. Can overtourism be avoided then?
E. You can still find relatively undiscovered places.
F. You’ll find yourself virtually alone, or close to it.
G. Consider giving back to the communities you’re visiting.
【答案】16. B 17. C 18. E 19. A 20. G
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了如何避免“过度旅游”的现象。
【16题详解】
前文“Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local economies
and communities, but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations.(旅游
促进理解，扩展我们的思想，使我们成为更好的人，促进当地经济和社区，但旅游业的快速发展导致了
某些地区和目的地的过度旅游)”表明旅游带来了一些问题，后文“The loss of what travel offers would be
unacceptable in today’s world.(在当今世界，失去旅行所能提供的东西将是不可接受的)”表示不能失去旅
行，结合后文“Certainly not.(当然不)”可知，空处提问能否停止旅行，D选项“那么，我们应该停止旅行吗？”符合语境。故选B。
【17题详解】
前文“Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason: they’re special. With so many online posts featuring the
same places, it’s easy to feel like you’re missing out. Go somewhere only when the landscape, culture or food
deeply draws you.(游客过多的目的地是有原因的：它们很特别。网上有这么多关于同一个地方的帖子，很
容易让你觉得你错过了。只有当风景、文化或食物深深吸引你时，才去某个地方)”表明不要跟风旅游，C
选项“为你而不是其他人旅行”表明要关注自己在旅行时的感受，忠实自己的感受，不用管其余的建
议，符合语境。故选C。
【18题详解】
前文“That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from.(这意味着你有很多不太受欢迎的选择)
及后文“Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights?( 为什么不
尝试一个地区性的选择，或者看看一个热门目的地不太为人所知的景点呢)”提出建议，可以选择一些冷门
的景点，E选项“你仍然可以找到相对未被发现的地方”语境一致。故选E。
【19题详解】
空处为小标题，根据后文“Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour.
(通过跳过重大节假日或高峰时间来最小化影响并最大化体验)”表示旅游时要注意避开高峰期，选择合适
的时间，A选项“在非高峰时间参观”概括本段内容。故选A。
【20题详解】
前文“Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place.(尽你的一份力，从一开始就
保护一个目的地的特别之处)”表明旅游时应保护旅游景点，后文“You may be amazed how much closer
you’ll feel to the people there.(你可能会惊讶地发现你和那里的人感觉如此亲近)”表示这样做的感受，G选

2024 年高考模拟真题
（2024·福建宁德·三模）Up until the1980s, people in many countries regularly followed in their parents’
footsteps by working in the family business or joining the same profession as them. In your grandparents’ time,
there was the prospect of doing the same job from graduation until retirement. 1 Most people now have
no intention of following in their parents’ footsteps or even staying at one job for very long.
In fact, planning to work in the same field for your entire working life just isn’t practical anymore. One
reason for this is technology. The skills you have now are unlikely to remain relevant. 2 And then what
答案第4页，共2页will you do? Work hard? Win the lottery? Hope for the best? You might be lucky. But most of us today have to
look beyond the little box called “career”.
If you think you can work eight hours a day and build a career, think again. It is hardly a recipe for great
career success. 3 Keep doing this, you can become a specialist in something one day. You have a chance
to choose to build a career, rather than being told to stay or to go.
4 You may have to go back to the classroom and be retrained to qualify to work in another field.
It is entirely your choice to learn, or to be forced to learn.
In short, lifetime security from one employer is no longer certain. 5 It is up to you to decide what
you can do and how well you can do it.
A．Are you ready for this?
B．How times have changed!
C．They will probably be out of date very soon.
D．The truth is that you are the boss of your career.
E．These skills should have brought you a nice, comfortable life.
F．What if your job disappears after working for 10 years in the field?
G．Instead. you’d better keep looking for smarter ways to do your work.
【答案】1．B 2．C 3．G 4．F 5．D
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要说明了在如今的职场中，大多数人不再打算追随父母的脚步，甚至
不再打算在一份工作上待很长时间，并分析了其原因。
1．根据上文“In your grandparents’ time, there was the prospect of doing the same job from graduation until
retirement.（在你祖父母的时代，从毕业到退休都要做同样的工作。）”和下文“Most people now have no
intention of following in their parents’ footsteps or even staying at one job for very long.(现在大多数人都不想追
随父母的脚步，甚至不想在一份工作上待很长时间)”可知，上下文形成对比，意在表明现在大多数人与过
去的情况不同。空处应该承上启下，起到过渡的作用。B选项“How times have changed!（时代变
了！）”符合文意。故选B。
2．根据上文“One reason for this is technology. The skills you have now are unlikely to remain relevant.(其中
一个原因是技术。你现在拥有的技能不太可能一直保持相关性。)”可知，此处意在表明现在拥有的技能有
过时的可能性。C选项“They will probably be out of date very soon.(它们可能很快就会过时)”符合文意，承
接上文。故选C。
3．根据上文“If you think you can work eight hours a day and build a career, think again. It is hardly a recipefor great career success.(如果你认为你可以每天工作8小时并建立一份事业，那再想想吧。这很难成为事业
成功的秘诀)”可知，此处意在表明不能每天只工作8小时，而要用更好的方法工作。G选项“Instead,
you’d better keep looking for smarter ways to do your work.(相反，你最好继续寻找更聪明的工作方法)”符合
文意，承接上文。故选G。
4．根据下文“You may have to go back to the classroom and be retrained to qualify to work in another field.(你
可能需要回到课堂接受再培训，才有资格在另一个领域工作)”可知，此处意在提出假设，即如果工作在将
来消失了该怎么办。F选项“What if your job disappears after working for 10 years in the field?(如果你在这
个领域工作了10年后，你的工作消失了怎么办？)”符合文意，引出下文。故选F。
5．根据上文“In short, lifetime security from one employer is no longer certain.(简而言之，从一个雇主那里
获得终身保障已不再可靠)”可知，此处强调个人在职业生涯中的主体地位。D选项“The truth is that you
are the boss of your career.(事实是，你是自己职业生涯的老板)”符合文意，承接上文。故选D。
（2024·四川成都·模拟预测）Tips for Positive Thinking When Depressed
If you’re wondering how to become more positive when depressed, you may need some actionable tips to
get started. 6
Keep a positive journal. Positive thoughts can be few and far between when you have depression. 7
Even if it’s something as small as seeing a beautiful flower or receiving a supportive text from a friend, keep a
record of your better moments.
8 Next time you feel hopeless in the face of difficulties, imagine the most positive outcome. For
example, you might dislike having depression, but imagine that one day you could use your story to help others—
to start a support group or write a book.
Ask yourself if your negative beliefs are really true. Next time you observe a negative thought entering
your mind, ask yourself: “Is there basis for this thought?” For example, has anyone ever told you that you were a
terrible friend apart from yourself? 9 What about all the times you’ve been supportive or helpful to the
people in your life? Hold your negative thoughts up for inspection and you’ll soon see which are worth your
attention.
10 During depression, however, it often feels easier to hide under your covers and let the negative
thoughts takeover than try to change your patterns. Try to challenge yourself during your stronger moments to try
to find something to feel positive about.
A．How might that feel?
B．Here are some ideas.
答案第6页，共2页C．Adjust mood to get a positive result.
D．Building healthy habits can be hard at the best of times.
E．If so, is that person’s opinion the only one you truly value?
F．Take a challenging situation and imagine the most positive outcome.
G．So each time a happy or hopeful thought comes into your head, write it down.
【答案】6．B 7．G 8．F 9．E 10．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了抑郁时积极思考的一些建议。
6．前文“If you’re wondering how to become more positive when depressed, you may need some actionable tips
to get started. (如果你想知道如何在抑郁时变得更积极，你可能需要一些可行的建议来开始)”提到在抑郁时
变得更积极需要可行的建议，后文段落具体介绍了这些建议，空处应该指出有这样一些建议，因此B项
“Here are some ideas. (这里有一些想法)”符合语境，承上启下。故选B。
7．段首句“Keep a positive journal. (坚持写积极向上的日记)”建议记录积极向上的想法，前文“Positive
thoughts can be few and far between when you have depression. (当你抑郁时，积极的想法可能很少)”提到抑
郁时积极的想法会很少，后文“Even if it’s something as small as seeing a beautiful flower or receiving a
supportive text from a friend, keep a record of your better moments. (即使是看到一朵美丽的花或收到朋友的支
持短信这样的小事，也要记录下你的美好时刻)”具体指出很美好的小事也值得记录，空处应该是建议及时
记录下那些积极的想法，因此G项“So each time a happy or hopeful thought comes into your head, write it
down. (所以每当一个快乐或充满希望的想法进入你的脑海时，把它写下来)”符合语境，呼应段首句，承上
启下。故选G。
8．根据后文“Next time you feel hopeless in the face of difficulties, imagine the most positive outcome. For
example, you might dislike having depression, but imagine that one day you could use your story to help others—
to start a support group or write a book. (下次当你在困难面前感到绝望时，想象一下最积极的结果。例如，
你可能不喜欢抑郁，但想象有一天你可以用你的故事来帮助别人——成立一个支持小组或写一本书)”可知，
本段主要建议想象一下最积极的结果，空处位于段首，是段落主旨句，应该与此相关，且需和其他段首
句一样使用祈使句的形式。因此F项“Take a challenging situation and imagine the most positive outcome.
(面对一个具有挑战性的情况，想象最积极的结果)”符合语境，可统领段落内容。故选F。
9．前文“Next time you observe a negative thought entering your mind, ask yourself: “Is there basis for this
thought?” For example, has anyone ever told you that you were a terrible friend apart from yourself? (下次当你看
到一个消极的想法进入你的脑海时，问问自己：“这个想法有根据吗”例如，除了你自己，有没有人告
诉过你，你是一个糟糕的朋友)”建议在有消极的想法时，质疑自己的想法，向自己提问，后文“Whatabout all the times you’ve been supportive or helpful to the people in your life? (那你在生活中支持或帮助别人
的时候呢)”依然是提问的问题，空处应该也是一个向自己提问的问题，因此E项“If so, is that person’s
opinion the only one you truly value? (如果是这样，那个人的意见是你唯一真正看重的吗)”符合语境，承接
前一句中的问题。故选E。
10．根据后文“During depression, however, it often feels easier to hide under your covers and let the negative
thoughts takeover than try to change your patterns. Try to challenge yourself during your stronger moments to try
to find something to feel positive about. (然而，在抑郁期间，躲在被子里让消极的想法接管比尝试改变你的
模式更容易。在你情绪较好的时候，试着挑战自己，试着找到一些让你感到积极的事情)”可知，本段主要
指出在抑郁期间改变自己很困难，应在情绪较好时去找让自己感到积极的事情，空处作为段首句，应该
与养成积极想法很困难相关，因此D项“Building healthy habits can be hard at the best of times. (即使在最
好的时候，养成健康的习惯也很难)”符合语境，契合后文内容。故选D。
（2024·黑龙江吉林·模拟预测）Who can imagine life today without an Automated Teller Machine
(ATM)? They are available in considerable numbers throughout the world.
The first ATM was the brainchild of an enterprising Turkish-American inventor Luther George Simjian.
When the idea of an automated banking machine struck him, he registered 20 patents before any bank agreed to
give it a trial run. It is easy to assume that the inventor of such a popular machine was laughing all the way to the
bank. 11 Within six months of its operation in New York in 1939, the device was removed due to lack
of customer acceptance.
It was not until 1967, nearly 30 years later, that Barclays Bank, in a careful launch, rolled out a self-service
machine in London, England, which proved successful. 12 The first cash machine relied on customers’
use of prepaid tokens (代币) to get envelopes with a fixed amount of cash inside.
13 The banks’ principle was seemingly customer service. But it would be foolish to minimize the
many advantages that cash machines provided to the banks themselves. By the late 1970s, the highest fixed cost
for the average large bank was its branches. The greatest variable cost and loss to profits were its staff. Bank
accounts swiftly recognized that self-service operations could reduce bank branch staff cost by70 percent.
Experts quickly determined that public acceptance of ATMs counted on convenience, simplicity, speed,
security and trust. 14 For maximum efficiency, ATMs had to be located near public transport or in a
shopping mall, not at a branch. The busier and more crowded the location, obviously, the better. Now, roughly 75
percent of all cash provided by banks to their customers comes from cash machines. 15 .
Public acceptance of deposits (存款) by machine was significantly slower than customers’ usage of ATMs
答案第8页，共2页for withdrawals. In general, it seems that customers sometimes still prefer and trust an over-the-counter
transaction (交易) for deposits.
A．Location, in particular, was a key factor.
B．His cash machine, however, didn’t prove durable.
C．The device was relatively primitive, at least by today’s standards.
D．However, cash machines posed some interesting, unanswered questions.
E．An interesting factor was the issue of bio-statistics for customer identification.
F．Devices originally dismissed by the public are now recognized as essential institutions.
G．Soon afterwards, many other banks became admittedly champions of the cash machine.
【答案】11．B 12．C 13．G 14．A 15．F
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了自动取款机(ATM)的发展历程和其在现代生活中的重要性。
11．根据上文“It is easy to assume that the inventor of such a popular machine was laughing all the way to the
bank.(人们很容易认为，这样一台受欢迎机器的发明者一定赚得盆满钵满)”和下文“Within six months of
its operation in New York in 1939, the device was removed due to lack of customer acceptance.(1939年，该设备
在纽约运行了六个月后，由于缺乏客户接受，该设备被拆除)”可知，上下文有转折关系，B项“His cash
machine, however, didn’t prove durable.(然而，他的取款机并没有经受住时间的考验)”承上启下，说明设想
和现实有差距，引出下文第一台取款机的真实命运，上下文语意连贯。故选B项。
12．下文“The first cash machine relied on customers’ use of prepaid tokens (代币) to get envelopes with a fixed
amount of cash inside.(第一台自动取款机依靠顾客使用预付代币来获得装有固定数量现金的信封)”介绍了
第一台自动取款机的工作原理：用预付代币来换取现金信封，是对C项“The device was relatively
primitive, at least by today’s standards.(这个装置相对来说比较原始，至少以今天的标准来看是这样)”的说明，
说明第一台自动取款机比较原始的工作原理，上下文语意连贯。故选C项。
13．下文“The banks’ principle was seemingly customer service. But it would be foolish to minimize the many
advantages that cash machines provided to the banks themselves. By the late 1970s, the highest fixed cost for the
average large bank was its branches. The greatest variable cost and loss to profits were its staff. Bank accounts
swiftly recognized that self-service operations could reduce bank branch staff cost by70 percent.(银行的原则似乎
是客户服务。但是，低估自动取款机给银行自身带来的诸多好处是愚蠢的。到20世纪70年代末，大型银
行的平均固定成本最高的是其分支机构。最大的可变成本和利润损失是它的员工。银行账户很快意识到，
自助服务可以将银行分行的员工成本降低70%)”说明了自动取款机给银行带来的诸多好处，解释了G项
“Soon afterwards, many other banks became admittedly champions of the cash machine.(不久之后，许多其他银行成为公认的自动提款机的拥护者)”中描述的这一现象，许多银行为了获益开始使用自动提款机，上下
文语意连贯。故选G项。
14．下文“For maximum efficiency, ATMs had to be located near public transport or in a shopping mall, not at a
branch. The busier and more crowded the location, obviously, the better.(为了最大限度地提高效率，自动取款
机必须设在公共交通附近或购物中心，而不是在分行。显然，地点越繁忙、越拥挤越好)”指出自动取款机
需要设在公共交通附近或购物中心，是对A项“Location, in particular, was a key factor.(尤其是地理位置，
是一个关键因素)”的举例说明，说明地理位置的重要作用。故选A项。
15．上文“Now, roughly 75 percent of all cash provided by banks to their customers comes from cash machines.
(现在，银行提供给客户的现金中，大约75%来自自动取款机)”谈及自动取款机的普及和广泛使用，F项
“Devices originally dismissed by the public are now recognized as essential institutions.(最初被公众忽视的设
备现在被认为是不可或缺的设施)”承接上文，总结自动取款机命运的变化，上下文语意连贯。故选F项。
（2024·广西贵港·模拟预测）How to think outside the box
Being open to dissenting (持异议的) opinions is not the only way to think outside the box. 16 .
A break in our everyday life may provide the force needed to shift the direction of our thinking. So we can
change environments. For some people, small changes might work, for example, reorganizing our desk or taking a
new route to work. 17 .
A famous concept is approaching routine situations as if we met or saw them for the first time. In other
words, we should look at them as if we’d never seen them. 18 . For instance, when we brush our teeth, take
a moment to look at the toothbrush as if we never laid eyes on such an object and noticed its color and shape.
Think about the flavor of the toothpaste and notice how our mouth feels as we move the brush back and forth.
19 . The mere presence of a group of people with diverse experiences, views and backgrounds in our
everyday life creates an atmosphere in which people can better respond to change. Why? Because they are key
drivers of the development of new ideas and solutions.
Unlike negative emotions (情感) that cause specific reactions (for example, fear drives us to flee), positive
emotions help us broaden our attention, explore our environment, and open ourselves to absorbing information.
20 . They can be those that are going well or for which we are grateful. This shifting into positivity
process will automatically brighten our mood and free our brain.
A．It’s also helpful to seek for the difference
B．We should show respect for different cultures too
C．Some small techniques could help broaden the way we think
答案第10页，共2页D．Take a few moments to think about the beautiful things in our life
E．Positive emotions play an important part in unfreezing our thinking
F．However, for others, bigger changes such as a new job or a marriage are required
G．“Beginners’ mind” allows us to remain open to experiences despite any knowledge we may have
【答案】16．C 17．F 18．G 19．A 20．D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了几个可以帮助拓宽思维方式的技巧。
16．空前提到“Being open to dissenting (持异议的) opinions is not the only way to think outside the box.(对持
异议的观点保持开放的态度不是唯一一种创造性思考的方法)”，C项“一些小技巧可以帮助拓宽我们的思
维方式”能够承上启下，是说还有别的一些技巧，且C项中“techniques”与空前一句中“way”呼应。故选
C项。
17．根据空前“For some people, small changes might work, for example, reorganizing our desk or taking a new
route to work.(对一些人来说，小的改变可能会起作用，例如，重新整理我们的办公桌或选择一条新的上
班路线)”可知，空处承接上文，指出对于其他人来说情况是怎样的，F项中的“for others”和上文的“For
some people”对应。由此可知，F项“然而，对于其他人来说，更大的变化，如新工作或婚姻是必需的”
能够承接上文，符合语境。故选F项。
18．空前提到“In other words, we should look at them as if we’d never seen them.(换句话说，我们应该像从
未见过它们一样，来看待它们)”，G项““初学者的思维”让我们对经验保持开放，尽管我们可能拥有任
何知识”，是说明空前提到的方法的好处，空后内容是对G项中的“Beginners’ mind”进行举例说明，上
下文衔接紧密，故选G项。
19．空处位于句首，是段落主题句，根据本段内容“The mere presence of a group of people with diverse
experiences, views and backgrounds in our everyday life creates an atmosphere in which people can better
respond to change.(在我们的日常生活中，一群有着不同经历、观点和背景的人的存在创造了一种氛围，
人们可以更好地应对变化)”及“Because they are key drivers of the development of new ideas and solutions.(因
为它们是新思想和解决办法发展的关键驱动因素)”可知，本段主要说差异的好处。由此可知，A项“寻找
差异也有帮助”适合作本段主旨句，符合语境。故选A项。
20．根据空后“They can be those that are going well or for which we are grateful.(它们可以是那些进展良好
或者我们所感激的事情)”可知，D项“花一些时间来考虑生活中美好的事情”能够衔接下文，空后的
They指代D项中“the beautiful things”。故选D项。
（2024·山东·二模）Short-form videos, also known as Shorts, have gained great popularity, particularly on
platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels. 21 However, there’s a growing concern that watching toomany Shorts can affect children’s brains.
The phenomenon known as “TikTok Brain” arises from the app’s short and addictive videos. Similar to
candy, these videos generate rapid dopamine (多巴胺) releases, stimulating the brain’s pleasure center. A study
was conducted to investigate the impact of Shorts on the teenage brains. 22 They stimulated the brain’s
reward centers more intensely than random videos.
Our brains process visual information faster than text, which explains why videos tend to outperform text-
based content online. Due to their underdeveloped reading skills, children are more easily to become addicted to
visual stimuli. Remarkably, social media platforms can do a lot harm to the development of reading habits among
younger users. 23
According to Jessica Griffin, a professor of child psychology, Shorts affect the developing brains of
children and teenagers. The prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮质) is responsible for attention, self-control, memory, and
learning flexibility. 24 This delayed development makes young individuals more easily influenced by
Shorts.
In conclusion, the constant exposure to fast-paced and stimulating content in Shorts can impact children’s
attention. To address this issue, parents can have open conversations with their children about the potential risks.

（2024·陕西榆林·模拟预测）As a psychologist with more than 15 years of experience, I’ve seen how
“hustle (忙碌) culture” can have a harmful effect on people. But a 2,000-year-old Chinese concept, “Wu wei”, can
help us lead more balanced, fulfilling and successful lives. “Wu wei” emphasizes taking action when necessary,
but not pushing yourself with excessive effort and tension. 26 , while increasing satisfaction and overall
well-being. Here’s how to make “Wu wei” part of your daily routine.
27 .Let’s say you’re throwing a big party. Instead of worrying about every detail, practicing “Wu wei” means
understanding that things may not go exactly as planned. When you face a challenge, ask yourself whether you
have complete control over the outcome. If you don’t, make peace with it and move on.
Embrace imperfection.
Allow things to unfold in their own natural way, without forcing the outcome. Know that nothing is ever
perfect. If you’re learning a new language or playing an instrument for the first time, prepare to make mistakes.

Perform mindfulness.
29 . Take notice of all the little details around you. How does the sun feel on your skin? Listen to

可知，接下来的句子可能会描述这样做的好处或效果。G选项“Research has shown that it can help lower
stress and anxiety (研究表明，它可以帮助降低压力和焦虑)”能承接上文，说明了“无为”理念对心理健康
的积极影响。故选G。
27．这里需要一个段落主题句，根据下文“Let’s say you’re throwing a big party. Instead of worrying about
every detail, practicing “wu wei” means understanding that things may not go exactly as planned. When you face
a challenge, ask yourself whether you have complete control over the outcome. If you don’t, make peace with it

现实的态度。因此，E选项“Accept things as they are(接受事物本来的样子)”能概括本段主旨，适合作为
这一段的开头。故选E。
28．由上文“Allow things to unfold in their own natural way, without forcing the outcome. Know that nothing is
ever perfect. If you’re learning a new language or playing an instrument for the first time, prepare to make

上文，指出犯错是学习过程的一部分。故选A。

入与活在当下相关的选项。F选项“If you are at peace (如果你内心平和)”与后半句“you are living in the
present (你正活在当下)”形成完整的条件关系，且符合前文逻辑。故选F。（2024·福建泉州·二模）While most of us work hard to shine at the presentations and speeches we can
prepare for, we may find impromptu (即兴的) communication scary. Actually, you just need to learn specific
skills to communicate effectively when put on the spot. Here are a few pointers.
31 What do you want your audience to know? How do you want them to feel, and what do you
want them to do? Having a clear objective paired with an awareness of your audience will narrow your focus.
Then you can prioritize what to say and choose your exact words more wisely.
Organize Your Thoughts. When making formal presentations, most people give a logical structure that
audiences can easily follow. But few of us adequately organize thoughts in impromptu situations. 32 In
fact, the best speakers maintain audience interest by demonstrating connections among specific points, ideas, for
example.
Listen as well as you talk. 33 You should do the opposite: focus on listening so that you can
better understand the in-the-moment needs and interests of your conversation partners and respond more
effectively. Paraphrasing or asking open-ended follow-up questions can help confirm your understanding and
provide extra time to think about your response.
Dare to be dull. Don’t feel you need to give a standout performance. One popular saying applies here, “
34 ” Listeners are more likely to trust and approve of you when you speak like a human being rather than an
actor or a robot. Research shows that the most effective speech includes moderate use of fillers such as “um” and
“uh”.
The real problem in impromptu communication isn’t an inability to communicate. 35 Fortunately,
a measure of experimentation thought, and practice of the skills can make impromptu speaking opportunities your
time to shine.
A．Identify a communication goal.
B．He knows most who speaks least.
C．Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
D．It’s being so nervous that we struggle with the talks.
E．We may assume that it’s impossible to do so on the fly.
F．A clear structure enhances comprehension and engagement.
G．Most people obsess over what to say during impromptu encounters.
【答案】31．A 32．F 33．G 34．C 35．D
答案第16页，共2页【导语】本文是一篇关于即兴沟通技巧的说明文。文章通过提供具体的建议帮助读者在没有准备的情况
下有效沟通。
31．下文“Having a clear objective paired with an awareness of your audience will narrow your focus. (拥有一
个清晰的目标，加上对听众的了解，将有助于集中你的注意力。)”说明要明确沟通目标并了解听众，空格
处需要一个与此相一致的选项，因此A项“Identify a communication goal. (确定一个沟通目标。)”中的关
键词goal和本段相符，故选A。
32．下文“In fact, the best speakers maintain audience interest by demonstrating connections among specific
points, ideas, for example. (事实上，最好的演讲者通过展示特定点和想法之间的联系来保持听众兴趣。)”
说明优秀的讲话需要有一定的逻辑结构，因此F项“A clear structure enhances comprehension and
engagement. (清晰的结构增强理解和参与度。)”与下文一致，故选F。
33．下文“You should do the opposite: focus on listening so that you can better understand the in-the-moment
needs and interests of your conversation partners and respond more effectively. (你应该做相反的事情：专注于
倾听，这样你就能更好地理解对话伙伴的即时需求和兴趣，并更有效地回应。)”说明在谈话中,我们应该
更加注重倾听而不是说话,因此G项“Most people obsess over what to say during impromptu encounters. (大
多数人在即兴场合过于纠结于该说什么。)”与下文的do the opposite逻辑相符，故选G。
34．下文“Listeners are more likely to trust and approve of you when you speak like a human being rather than
an actor or a robot. (当你像一个人而不是演员或机器人那样说话时，听众更可能信任和赞同你。)”说明想
要让对方更加信任自己，我们不应该像机器人那样发挥完美，机械回答，应该更像人类一样，有一些小
错误，因此C项“Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. (不要让完美成为好的敌人。)”与下文相一
致，故选C。
35．下文“Fortunately, a measure of experimentation thought, and practice of the skills can make impromptu
speaking opportunities your time to shine. (幸运的是，一些实验性思考和技能实践可以使即兴演讲机会成为
你发光的时刻。)”可知通过这些小技巧，可以让人们在谈话中发挥出色，从而就不会紧张，因此D项
“It’s being so nervous that we struggle with the talks. (正是因为我们太紧张，所以我们在谈话中挣扎。)”与
下文相一致，故选D。
（2024·湖北·模拟预测）Strategies to Overcome Self-Doubt Once and For All
Being self-confident is not easy and not everyone can do it, but it doesn’t need to be that difficult. 36
Going through life can be very challenging at times. When we were young, no one told us how hard it will
be in the future but here we are. 37 And it is unpleasing and can kill your confidence levels if not
controlled from the beginning.
We will all experience some self-doubt, which is natural. 38 It happens to us during normal daysor whenever we are going to start a new job, a new task, or a new relationship, anything new in life will make you
self-doubt. This sort of feeling puts you into dark days when nothing seems to go right and you might feel like
giving up, and that is the time to be strong.
39 Self-doubt is when you are unsure about one or more aspects of yourself. For example, when
starting a new job, you might feel inexperienced or might think that you are not fit enough for the job, and this is a
prime example of self-doubt.
40 Low-level of self-criticism is actually good for you. It motivates you and pushes you to be
better in life, to become greater than yesterday. This type of feeling will push you to work harder and faster than
before and will also increase your productivity, but it should be a low level of self-criticism. You don’t want to
punish yourself over things that are beyond your control.
A．We needn’t take it seriously.
B．It’s impossible for us to deal with it.
C．One of the big problems of adult life is having self-doubt.
D．Self-doubt isn’t all that bad, let us tell you why.
E．Let’s explore to find ways to remove self-doubt forever.
F．It will take long for us to solve this problem.
G．There are some people mistaking self-doubt for something else.

39．根据下文“Self-doubt is when you are unsure about one or more aspects of yourself.”（自我怀疑是指你对
自己的一个或多个方面不确定）可知，下文以“什么是真正的自我怀疑”来对前文给予驳斥。故上文是
关于对自我怀疑的错误看法。故G选项“有些人把自我怀疑错当成了别的东西”切题。故选G项。
40．根据下文“Low-level of self-criticism is actually good for you. It motivates you and pushes you to be better
in life, to become greater than yesterday.”（低水平的自我批评实际上对你有好处。它激励你，推动你在生活

（2024·湖南郴州·模拟预测）Find the learning style that suits you best
To succeed academically, you need to be productive. To be productive, you need to find a suitable learning
style. Whether it’s for everyday learning or revising for exams, the learning style that helps you achieve maximum
productivity will be crucial. 41
Note-taking
Note-taking can include copying out passages of books or summarizing concepts on notecards. 42
The problem with note-taking is that it’s all too easy simply to copy out what someone else says without really
taking it in.
43
Sometimes you might find that you learn things more easily if you have to explain a concept to someone
else. This is because in order to explain something clearly to someone else, you have to have a thorough grasp of
it yourself. For example, giving a presentation to fellow students will require you first to have an excellent
understanding of the topic and then to put together materials from which the others can learn.
Learning by doing
This method means that rather than reading things in books, try to experience things in real life. 44
Experiencing things practically gives your brain something concrete to remember, so you will absorb the
information more easily.Tests and mock exams (模拟考试)
45 If you’re the sort of person who benefits from these sorts of challenges, you could try asking
your teacher, parents or study buddies to set a mock exam to test what you’ve learned on a particular topic.
A．Explaining to others
B．Diagrams and mind maps
C．If so, visual methods of learning might suit you best.
D．Here are some common learning styles and choose one that suits you best!

会更容易些，因为为了向别人清楚地解释一些事情，你自己必须对它有一个彻底的掌握。A选项“向他
人解释”能够概括本段主旨，选项中“Explaining to others”与下文第一句中“explain a concept to someone
